Good points, Kanchan. I do not see why we need to have separate categories for public broadcaster and community broadcaster. Why does India have only one public broadcaster? If we admit there there could me more, and start to define criteria for who should be allowed to set up a public broacasting service, we will find ourselves pretty much laying down the same criteria as we have done for community broadcasters.
This would go very well with a policy for unlicensed secondary use of the FM band for transmitters under 5 Watts, as is the case in Citizens Band radio. Arun On 1/2/09, Kanchan K.
